MCEdit opens to a black screen #795

Open MiladyRadium opened 7 years ago

MiladyRadium commented 7 years ago

So my brother and I are having something of an odd error. We're both running the latest version, but for some unknown reason, he cannot open MCEdit properly. It will open the command prompt, the log seems to indicate it opens properly, but the actual program window proper is just black and doesn't respond to keyboard commands.

From what I have gathered, this is most likely a graphics card issue. However, his graphic card drivers are up to date and we both have the exact same card (Nvidia Quadro 600). We both run the same mods, on the same forge version, on the same MC version.

Steps to Reproduce - I can't really think of how to reproduce this error. We've tried to upgrade his drivers, completely reinstalling the whole thing, and even installing python. I legitimately not sure what is causing this error at all, nobody else seems to be having the same problem. Even my google-fu didn't turn up anything, which is why I'm asking here.

If it's relevant: At one point, it complained about usercache.json being corrupted. We deleted the file and the error went away, but I'm including it here for posterity. He has absolutely zero resource packs.

MCEdit Version Number - 1.5.6.0

Minecraft Version Number - 1.7.10 forge version 10.13.4.1566 running: All these mods

Operating System Version - Windows 7 service pack 1

Log is attached. MCEDITLOG.docx

Just my two cents... Are both systems running the same version of Java?

MiladyRadium commented 7 years ago

Actually, no, now that I think about it. He's running Java 8 update 121 64 bit

I'm somehow running 2 editions of java. One is Java 7 update 79 the other is Java 8 update 77, both 64 bit.

EmanYm commented 7 years ago

Not sure how relevant that really is, though. It was just a passing thought as I ran through troubleshooting in my head.

The operation of MCEdit is usually unrelated to the version of Minecraft and Java. Source - unless that has been changed in 'unified', the java version shouldn't matter.

MiladyRadium commented 7 years ago

Exactly, which is why I have no idea what is causing the problem.

Can you give us a screenshot of the console window?

MiladyRadium commented 7 years ago

Here you go: console

LaChal commented 7 years ago

Sorry for the late answer.

This console screen is not unusual at all...

When MCEdit starts, tow items shall pop in the taskbar: the console one and MCEdit one. Can you see both? If yes, can you activate the MCEdit one, by clicking on it or with 'Alt-Tab'?

MiladyRadium commented 7 years ago

Switching between the two is fine, it doesn't freeze or anything, but it's just black and otherwise nonresponsive. We tried using keyboard commands, but that doesn't do anything either.

LaChal commented 7 years ago

At least, I could test on my side! I don't experience this on a Windows 10 VM...

What happens if you resize the MCEdit window?

You can also run MCEdit from command line:

This will disable the internal window management. You may see some progress, but resizing the window will mostly be shaky...

MiladyRadium commented 7 years ago

Resizing didn't do anything, but we will try running it from the console as soon as we can. Will update as soon as we get results.
